Answer:

Alcohol dehydrogenase

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in the liver and stomach and is responsible for the break down of alcohol into ketones or aldehydes. Alcohol dehydrogenase reduces the effect of alcohol by breaking the alcohol down.

Women have less Alcohol dehydrogenase than men, therefore if a man and woman of the same weight consume same amount of alcohol, more amount of alcohol would enter the woman bloodstream since they are lesser Alcohol dehydrogenase to breakdown the alcohol thereby leading to a higher BAL.
